Siheyuan, counterattack from the proficiency panel

Chapter 39: Meat buns, please invest and read
But unexpectedly, Yan Laokou, who had always been successful, suffered a defeat today.

Looking at He Yuzhu and his sister leaving, Yan Bugui couldn't help but hum and mutter.

"This is really... a disrespect for kindness."

Yan Bugui felt somewhat unwilling. It would be such a shame if he didn't take some of that big piece of meat for himself.

Thinking of this, Yan Bugui began to plan. Since Sha Zhu refused to give it to him, he should not blame him for being a bad person.

Soon, the news that He Yuzhu had just arrived home and bought a large piece of pork leg spread throughout the courtyard.

Reactions from all sides were mixed.

But basically in the end it all comes down to attitude, which is whether you can get an advantage.

Jia family.

Fat Jia Zhang was lying on the kang, covered with a thick, smelly, rotten quilt that hadn't been washed for who knows how long. She kept cursing, "Silly Zhuzi from the He family has a bad conscience. He doesn't even know how to give us some meat when he eats it himself. Can the two siblings finish such a big piece of pork leg? Aren't they afraid of choking to death? We are all neighbors in the same compound. What's wrong with him giving us some meat? Dongxu, go to Silly Zhuzi's house and ask for some meat."

Jia Dongxu was a little timid and said, "I'm not going. If you want to go, Mom, go by yourself."

Although Jia Dongxu himself was also drooling with greed, he was young after all and still had some dignity and sense of shame.

When Jia Zhang saw her son Jia Dongxu's appearance, she angrily scolded him, "You are useless. You don't even dare to ask for a piece of meat."

Jia Dongxu didn't say anything. After scolding for a while, Jia Zhangshi had to stop. To be honest, she herself didn't dare to go.

Last time she went to Sha Zhu's house and wanted to have a bowl of millet soup, she was turned away. This time, even more so if she went to ask for meat, the other party would definitely not give it to her. Even if she risked her reputation, the chances of getting meat were slim.

The Liu family and the Xu family are the same in the backyard.

They were all cursing as a whole. After all, Sha Zhu had betrayed them. Although the second son Liu Guangtian was not favored, he was still his son, wasn't he?
The same goes for the Xu family. Even though Xu Damao is not very ambitious, you can't beat my son, right?
..............................

The only one who was probably happy was Yi Zhonghai. The fact that Sha Zhu bought such a big piece of meat, didn't it mean that he was in for a treat?
He has already lent Shazhu ten kilograms of millet, so it’s not too much for him to eat some meat, right?

Thinking of Sha Zhu's cooking skills, Yi Zhonghai already felt his mouth watering.

When He Yuzhu returned home, he had no idea what the beasts were thinking, because he was thinking about how to deal with the pork leg and the pig head.

Soon, He Yuzhu had an idea.

Pork leg, that's good meat.

If making braised pork is too tacky, he plans to make the meat into meat buns. In the future, they don't have to worry about cooking when they go to work in the morning or go to school. One meat bun per person will be enough.

Convenient and simple...

But the problem with making buns is that there is no flour at home.

Fortunately, there is a pigeon market, and He Yuzhu lets Yu Shui stay at home.

When He Yushui heard that her brother was going to make steamed meat buns, she couldn't stop drooling with greed and quickly promised to stay at home and not run around.

He Yuzhu went out.

As soon as He Yuzhu left, Yi Zhonghai arrived.

"dong dong dong"

Yi Zhonghai tried to push the door, but unexpectedly it was closed tightly.

Helpless, he could only knock on the door.

"Who?"

He Yushui's childish voice came from the house.

Yi Zhonghai said kindly: "Yushui, I'm your Uncle Yi. Is your brother here? Open the door quickly. I have something to say to your brother." He Yushui did not open the door, but said: "Uncle Yi, my brother is not at home. He went out for a while and will be back soon."

Yi Zhonghai said: "Yushui, open the door first, I want to talk to you."

Hearing this voice, He Yushui suddenly had an idea and quickly hid the meat on the chopping board. Then he responded.

"Oh, here it comes."

"Uncle Yi, is there anything else?"

Yi Zhonghai said amiably: "Yushui, I heard that your brother bought a large piece of pork leg meat. Isn't it almost the end of the year? My family has no money to buy meat. Can you give me a piece of meat so that I can have a good New Year?"

Hearing that he was asking for meat, He Yushui immediately became alert and said, "Uncle Yi, it's not that I won't give it to you, but why don't you wait until my brother comes back?"

Yi Zhonghai thought to himself, I just waited for Shazhu to go out before coming here. After all, young people are easy to fool. I didn’t expect that He Yushui had some wisdom.

Yi Zhonghai said: "Yushui, I just want some meat, just a small piece. I lent you ten kilograms of millet a while ago. If I want some meat from you, you won't refuse, right?"

He Yushui blinked her big watery eyes and said, "But Uncle Yi, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, but my brother took the meat away. I can't give it to you even if I want to. If you don't believe me, come in and see."

As he spoke, little He Yushui turned aside, but Yi Zhonghai naturally didn't believe it, so he walked into the house and looked around, but he didn't find even a pig hair.

This made him doubt his life, and in the end he had no choice but to return empty-handed.

The people who had been following him saw He Yuzhu go out and wanted to come over and take the meat by showing off their magical powers.

After Yi Zhonghai, everyone else failed.

He Yuzhu went out and brought back ten kilograms of flour.

After returning home, I was shocked to find that the meat was gone.

"Rainwater, where's the meat?"

He Yushui said: "I hid the meat."

He Yuzhu wondered, "Why are you hiding?"

"Brother, you don't know, not long after you left, Master Yi from the Central Court came over to ask for meat, I..."

At that moment, He Yushui recounted what had just happened.

After hearing this, He Yuzhu's face became gloomy. He really underestimated the shamelessness of these beasts. Fortunately, his sister Yu Shui was not a pushover either. She was very wise at a young age.

If they borrow a piece from here and a piece from there, then they, the brother and sister, will have nothing to eat.

"Rainwater, good job."

He Yuzhu praised her, but at the same time this incident also reminded him that his sister Yu Shui also needed to be trained and developed the ability to fight against beasts from an early age.

The homemade version of meat buns has thin skin, large fillings and overflowing soup.

From now on, when I don’t know what to eat for breakfast, I will just heat up a pot of buns. In this cold winter, the buns are like a natural refrigerator.

Just heat it up in the morning, and the meat buns with millet soup will be a hearty meal.

Just thinking about those days, it was so comfortable.

Other families had to eat coarse food, and those with better conditions could only have steamed corn bread and cabbage, while they and their siblings had meat buns with millet soup, which was considered a luxury at that time.

He Yuzhu did what he said and went to the front yard with a bucket to fetch water.
